Hmmmm....Private Money, reducing states Medical burdens, and your problem with this is what exactly?
I could understand if the money were going in the Opposite direction, but the simple fact is RWJ is a renowned Philanthropist who spends an awful lot of time trying to do PALAPABLE GOOD with his money.
I don't suppose all you hypocritical bastards are giving up your MICROSOFT pcs because the Gates Foundation is one of Planned Parenthoods biggest suporters....But then again, ripping the unborn screaming from the womb is different than not being allowed to ingest a little nicotine in a hospital...
That old crock has been debunked so many times it's due for an oil change. If that's the only reason you think what others do is any of your business, you'd better start looking for a new hobby.
"The lifetime health cost for a smoking man is $72,700 and $94,700 for a smoking woman. For nonsmokers, the cost is $83,400 for a man; $111,000 for a woman.
"If people stopped smoking today, there would be a savings in health care costs, but only in the short term. Eventually, smoking cessation would lead to increased health care costs." --New England Journal of Medicine,1997;337:1052-7.

IF abortion is so important to you, why don't you write to old RWJ and ask him why he isn't spending this money on THAT? Why waste all this money on the smokers when saving baby's is MUCH more important ANY day! How about that?
(You call me a bastard one more time I am turning you in for abuse).
Wrong issue, wrong thread....... plenty of anti abortion threads on this site.
